Good evening, Team!  It’s Friday!

I learned this week of a colleague who had a loved one fall from a precariously high position while constructing a building, shattering their hip and pelvis.  A tragic accident like that will bring clarity and purpose in what needs to be done next;  Inform work of your absence, notify friends and family of the incident and your whereabouts, recruit spiritual warriors to hold the accident victim up in prayer, get to their location as quickly and safely as possible to be their advocate.  Lots of anxiety, lots of clarity, no hesitation…with purpose.

You may have referred to someone as “on a mission” to do something, whether it is fix a problem, buy a particular item or find someone.   

So what are you on a mission to do?
-Is it to raise healthy, productive children?

-Is it to share knowledge and develop leaders?

-Is it to improve the world with your skills, experience and resources?

Do you have the same clarity and purpose as a Mother ensuring her son has access to the best healthcare and sits by his side as long as the hospital will allow her?

Do you carry the same intensity and compassion as the Mother mentioned above as you approach your objectives … with purpose?

The benefit of a singular purpose is that you can align your efforts with your goal.

Recently, my employer rebranded themselves as “clean energy and infrastructure”.  We build wind farms and solar farms (clean energy) that continue to grow in viability and also reduce carbon emissions, ultimately improving the atmosphere we rely on to live a high quality life.  In other words, we are saving the planet.  I get to go to work each day, with purpose, to save the planet.

My challenge to you this week is to identify what you are best suited to do, most passionate about and approach it with purpose.

Have a blessed weekend!
